<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anyone who has been following the music industry the past few years knows this fact: Vinyl sales are up! And up big! In fact, sales of vinyl in 2016 reached a 25-year high as consumers young and old have found new satisfaction from embracing physical formats of music. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, this recent trend did not happen out of thin air. Independent labels, like Helsinki imprint </span><a href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.discogs.com%2Flabel%2F571796-Common-Labour" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Common Labour</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, have been the influencers behind the scenes making the shift happen by implementing policies where they exclusively release material on vinyl only formats. This has been a policy at Common Labour since their start in 2013, and although I doubt the journey has been easy, the label has developed one of the strongest discographies in the underground house scene &#8211; sporting phenomenal releases from the likes of artists such as Lukas Lyrestam, Kask, Powel, and Saine.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">[soundcloud url=&#8221;https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/premiere-nachtbraker-tobago&#8221; /]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To celebrate this 5-year journey, the Finnish collective has decided to come out with a new compilation as part of their <em>Odd Jobs </em>series. Aptly titled </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Odd Jobs Vol. 3</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, this record pays homage to their hand-stamped, sticker-sealed history. Consisting of 4-tracks, this release features music from the likes of Sames, pothOles, Thomas Wood, and Bolting Bits fave </span><a href="https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-nachtbraker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nachtbraker</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the A1, the Dutch producer has come out with his very own original </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tobogo, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">which goes much deeper than his usual array of turbo-funked disco bangers. This song actually gives off a distinctly more techno vibe than what we’re used to, and we like it! The tension Nachtbraker is able to establish from the get-go is something to behold, and he does his best in building it up and bringing it down throughout its entirety. Our favorite moment comes in around the 2 minute mark, when he uses a simple vocal sample to cut through all the angst like butter &#8211; unleashing a groove that you can’t help but bob your head to.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To get yourself a copy of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Odd Jobs Vol. 3</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, pre-order your copy right </span><a href="https://www.decks.de/track/various_artists-odd_jobs_vol_3/cbj-fi" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">! There are only 241 copies, so don’t sleep on it!</span></p>

<div class="_d97" style="text-align: justify;">
<p>We can&#8217;t remember a producer that has hit the ground running with such an accomplished and well rounded sound as <strong>Leon Revol</strong> <a href="https://soundcloud.com/leonidmusique" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(soundcloud)</a>. Since his debut on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Monologues</span> alongside <strong>Laurence Guy</strong>, everything he has made has hit all the right notes, a cosmic and spacey sound that is also as warm as a midsummer night in Bordeaux, the hometown of Monsieur Revol.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s premiere comes from his forthcoming EP entitled <em>Lou Bet Sou</em> on <a href="https://soundcloud.com/beatsofnonationradio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beats Of No Nation</a>, a label set up by Dom Bird, Jad Lee and Sean Bate. This is their 4th outing, having previously unleashed music by <strong>The Chord Memory Band</strong> (a project by founder Dom Bird), <strong>Jad &amp; The</strong> (a moniker used by other founding father Jad Lee) &amp; <strong>Super Fun Bumper Edition</strong> (a collaboration between Charles Murdoch and Jad Lee).</p>
<p><span class="s1">[soundcloud url=&#8221;https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/premiere-leon-revol-if-terry-was-in-d&#8221; /]</span></p>
<p><em>If Terry Was In D</em> starts with gorgeous Rhodes scales, twirling, always twirling around the stereo field, closely accompanied by a syncopated kick and loose chord progressions. Leon wastes no time getting the percussion section going, all the time various elements meandering in and out of your consciousness. There are so many wonderful little musical phrases in this track, it takes a couple of listens to appreciate what is going on. Complimenting each other like fine cuisine, all the ingredients blend together to create a mouthwatering masterpiece. The whole EP is a complete package of varying guises of house and Leon has executed each one with style. It seems like each record he puts out, there is more and more to like about this guy and we at Bolting Bits cannot wait to hear more from him and of course our friends down under at Beats Of No Nation.</p>
<p>You can pre-order the release from the Beats Of No Nation Bandcamp page <a href="https://beatsofnonation.bandcamp.com/album/leon-revol-lou-bet-sou-ep" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. Released on Nov 10th.</p>

<div class="_d97" style="text-align: justify;">
<p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/wewillalwaysbealovesong" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">wewillalwaysbealovesong</span></a> is a French label with a very impressive back catalogue, bringing together the likes of Ilija Rudman, Tevo Howard and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/pontymython" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ponty Mython</strong></a> (who is the subject of today&#8217;s premiere). This is their 11th outing, the second of which has been pressed to wax. This is essentially a remix EP, harnessing the talents of Black Loops, Nebraska, Jay Haze and <strong>Bal5000</strong> <a href="https://soundcloud.com/bal5000">(soundcloud)</a>. Bal5000 is the alias of Bálint Forgács, a producer hailing from Budapest with previous appearances on the Dirt Crew sub-label Speil and the Nachtbraker headed Quartet Series.</p>
<p><span class="s1">[soundcloud url=&#8221;https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/ponty-mython-so-what-did-you-expect-bal5000-back-to-96-remix&#8221; /]</span></p>
<p>The original track &#8216;<em>So What Did You Expect</em>&#8216; released just over a month ago is a typically quirky affair, with plinky melodies and a funky bass line to boot. What Bal5000 has done with his interpretation is strip everything right back to it&#8217;s basics. The intro of the remix is sublime, taking the chords and pads of the original and laying filtered smatterings of the beats creating an almost cosmic feel. Kicking fully in at just over 3 minutes, you would be forgiven for thinking that it dragged on a little too much but boy oh boy that is most definitely not the case here, just the right amount of variation and tease before the beats and bassline are introduced after a rather large resonated high pass filter. There are many nice little sub-melodies and phrases going on in this remix, maybe some will missed in a club environment but on a set of decent headphones this can truly be appreciated for what it is; a brooding slow burner with amazing spatial qualities.</p>
<p>This is set to hit stores in early November, you can pre-order a copy from deejay.de <a href="https://www.deejay.de/Ponty_Mython_Tropic_Of_Capricorn_Ep_-_Remix_Ep_WEWILL011_Vinyl__290596" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a></p>

<div class="_d97" style="text-align: justify;">
<p class="p1"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Série Limitée</span> <a href="https://soundcloud.com/serielimitee">(soundcloud)</a> is a fine London based label formed in 2013. They have previously showcased music from the likes of Steve Frisco, Monsieur Cedric, Anaxander, and Panthera Krause. Vinyl only releases coming in the form of VA 4 trackers are their staple and today we&#8217;re happy to announce the 10th instalment in the series.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Kisk</strong> <a href="https://soundcloud.com/kisk">(soundcloud)</a> is the alias of Giuseppe D&#8217;Alessandro, the Italian native responsible for the creation of the always reliable <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Apparel Music</span>. He is also curator of the impeccable ‘Jazzy Hour Radio Show’ of which we are massive fans here at the BB HQ. There is more than a hint of jazz influence in his productions, always a good thing injecting that swing and unpredictability into house music. Today we premiere his B1 track ‘<em>Clean Up Down</em>’.</p>
<p><span class="s1">[soundcloud url=&#8221;https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/kisk-clean-up-down&#8221; /]</span></p>
<p class="p1">It doesn’t take long for this one to get down to business, light and loose ride hats dance their way over warm chords as the track’s percussion builds nicely. Some lovely ethereal strings come to the fore during a small break and that’s also when the Jazz flute hits, HEY AQUALUNG!! The track doesn’t dwell on one particular motif for too long, evolving and changing but still maintaining it’s charm. The solo jazz flute is the highlight of this laid back rolling groove. We defy anyone to hear a jazz flute and not instantly feel a bit better about things!</p>
<p class="p1">The EP on the whole is a well rounded affair, catering for a wide-ranging spectrum of tastes and will certainly be in our baskets come release day which is on or around 8th September. You can pre-order via <a href="http://bit.ly/2i6eccX">Juno</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/2vDs8jz">Deejay</a> &amp; <a href="http://bit.ly/2w1xGW7">Redeye.</a></p>

<div class="_d97" style="text-align: justify;">Edits, edits, edits. They are everywhere at the moment! There is a label that has been dealing out the good stuff, the pure, 100% authentic raw stuff for a considerable amount of time. This label has been doing their thing since the edit game exploded, the disco DJ’s favourite, Razor-N-Tape <a href="https://soundcloud.com/razor-n-tape">(soundcloud</a>).<br />
If, like us, you are an avid follower of the label then you will know what to expect from their Edit series. Fun, groovy and unquestionably excellent source material, all releases are tasteful homages to the originals, not overdone but with just the right amount of dance floor impact for modern audiences.<br />
Today’s premiere comes from Reverend P (<a href="https://soundcloud.com/djreverendp">soundcloud</a>), a Parisian disco don with a history of making killer edits for G.A.M.M. and Basic Fingers. Track B1 is called Way U Get Me.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="_d97" style="text-align: justify;">
<p><span class="s1"><span class="s1"><span class="s1">[soundcloud url=&#8221;https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/premiere-reverend-p-way-u-get-me&#8221; /]</span></span></span></p>
<p>It’s not easy to get the balance right when approaching someone as legendary as Barry White, but Reverend P nails it. An altogether DJ friendlier cut, the track builds as the original does but this edit teases and teases without using the overblown sections that the album version has.<br />
There’s nothing quite like Barry&#8217;s velvety smooth voice, this edit cuts the right amount and uses the beats and bass with a smattering of the horn section perfectly. All in all, a very well thought out and dancefloor orientated edit. This will be on rotation for a long time!<br />
We look forward to his next edit choice and also the next instalment in Razor-N-Tape’s wonderful series.<br />

<div class="_d97" style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Starting life off as a cassette label in 2012, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/uknowymusic" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UKNOWY Music</span></a> has since expanded into the vinyl realm. Based in Munich, Germany, the imprint is also host to beat event nights in its hometown. The premise behind UKNOWY is simple. It&#8217;s about following a passion. In this case it&#8217;s a passion for music. Although they try to minimize boundaries concerning genres, they seem to have a penchant for hip hop style beats with a sprinkle of house music on top. Both genres, among others, are represented throughout the label&#8217;s previous releases of which there are now close to twenty. Currently, they&#8217;ve only had two vinyl releases, both firmly rooted in house. One in 2015 from <strong>Peter Clamat</strong> and the second in 2016 from <strong>Nemoy</strong>, with the forthcoming release being their third pressed to wax. If keeping with the current pattern, it may very likely be their only vinyl release of 2017.</p>
<p><span class="s1">[soundcloud url=&#8221;https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/delakeyz-our-roots&#8221; /]</span></p>
<p>&#8220;Our Roots&#8221; EP is the third aforementioned 12&#8243; and it comes from Swiss producer <strong>Delakeyz </strong>(<a href="https://soundcloud.com/delakeyz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soundcloud)</a>, who you may know better as his melodic, beat-producing alias <a href="https://soundcloud.com/melodiesinfonie" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Melodiesinfonie</strong></a>. The three track release comes with two remixes as well. One from Manchester-based <strong>Contours</strong> and the other from Austrian <strong>Moony Me</strong>. Our premiere today is the A1 and original mix of the title track &#8216;<em>Our Roots</em>&#8216;. Dropping an afro-latin percussion groove over a steady house rhythm, Delakeyz is clearly gunning for the dance floor. Adding moody chords and atmospheric strings, the producer can&#8217;t stay away from his melodic roots as he keys in squelchy, jazzy sequences over top. The sultry vocals are the cherry on top of a track that has both a solid groove and seductive yet wistful air about it.</p>
<p>The release is out today and you can get it straight from UNKNOWY&#8217;s <a href="https://uknowymusic.bandcamp.com/album/our-roots-ep" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bandcamp</a>.</p>

<p><strong>INTERVIEW</strong></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Since releasing your first music in 2012, how has your setup and approach to making music changed?<br />
</strong><em>My set up has changed a lot since 2012. I started out making ambient kinda stuff with just my laptop and a Korg microKontrol which was a lot of fun back then as it was the first time I’d messed about with electronic music. Nowadays, I’m much more hardware focused and use a Korg microKorg synth, Juno 106, Korg m50 workstation, Roland TR-8 drum machine &amp; more recently my Roland TD-30K electronic drum kit. </em></p>
<p><em>I’ve been experimenting with a lot more live instruments in my tracks lately, so my work flow has changed from jamming around a sample, to jamming out some keys or synth lines and recording some drum loops around that. I still do sampling of course but I’m trying to move away from it just to challenge myself a bit more!</em></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3527 size-full" src="http://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz2.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="650" srcset="https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz2.jpg 650w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz2-284x284.jpg 284w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz2-100x100.jpg 100w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz2-350x350.jpg 350w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz2-300x300.jpg 300w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz2-330x330.jpg 330w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p><strong>Your EP on Outplay could be considered a bit of a breakthrough, how did things change for you after the release of that EP?<br />
</strong><em>Yeah I agree with you to be honest. My <a href="http://www.juno.co.uk/products/loz-goddard-loose-jams-ep/568054-01/?ref=purplev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘Loose Jams’</a> EP on Outplay was my first solo vinyl release and because of the promo, support and the label itself, it got my name out there in a much bigger way than I was used to with previous releases. I remember shortly after the EP dropped, Razor N Tape got in touch about wanting me to do a record with them too so I guess it opened quite a few doors. I had followed Razor N Tape for a while before that Outplay record so for them to ask me was a huge deal and a real nice surprise. </em></p>
<p><strong>Who would you say are your biggest musical influences?<br />
</strong><em>I’ve got to give a big nod to Sheffield’s Warp Records here as the music on that label was the first real electronic music I’d heard that I truly loved. Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre, LFO. All those guys were the ones that had my attention from first listen. As you may have seen in my cheesy little bio, one of my friends show me ‘Roygbiv’ by Boards of Canada which introduced me to the whole electronic music world.</em></p>
<p><em>I ended up getting into that disco / funk kinda sound through listening to the old Sleazy Beats releases, old WOLF Music &amp; Melbourne Deepcast. Once I started producing more disco oriented cuts, I inherited a few of my Dads old records which I’ve used for sampling and playing out, so big shout to Goddard Senior too!</em></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3528 size-full" src="http://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz3.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="650" srcset="https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz3.jpg 650w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz3-284x284.jpg 284w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz3-100x100.jpg 100w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz3-350x350.jpg 350w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz3-150x150.jpg 150w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz3-300x300.jpg 300w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz3-330x330.jpg 330w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p><strong>Dead or alive, who would you love to collaborate with?<br />
</strong><em>Great question! I reckon it would be insane to jam with someone like Roy Ayers or Herbie Hancock. I’m really into all that kinda jazziness lately and loving the live instruments again so getting on the drums and playing with any of those guys would be mental. It would be interesting to see how well I could hold down a jam with wizards such as those two.</em></p>
<p><em>I recently saw Snarky Puppy in Manchester who fully blew me away so if Ayers &amp; Hancock aren’t up for a jam then Snarky would also be a solid choice. Those guys are musically TIGHT.</em></p>
<p><strong>You have recently been playing all over the UK and abroad, what have been your favourite venues/cities?<br />
</strong><em>I played in Lille in France on 9<sup>th</sup> June which was such a blast! The City is really nice too, kinda reminds me of Brussels &amp; Bruges, with plenty of old architecture and cobbled streets. The gig was quality as well and was on this outdoor terrace with about 1000 people, so the vibe was huge. Other than that, I played a set at Stage &amp; Radio in Manchester for a party called Bad Fun, the day before my gig in Birmingham for Secret Reels and that was a stand-out gig of the last 4 or 5 months.</em></p>
<p><em>I think my favourite venue I’ve played yet is Canvas in Volkshotel in Amsterdam. I played there for Midnight City so I always knew it was gonna be a decent jam. Fouk &amp; Laurence Guy were on the bill with me too as it was an Outplay Records party so yeah, that one was extra nice!</em></p>
<p><strong>What is coming up for you this year and beyond?<br />
</strong><em>This year I have my ‘Rule of Three’ EP dropping on Outplay mid-July <a href="http://www.juno.co.uk/products/loz-goddard-rule-of-three-ep/653740-01/?ref=purplev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Pre-order)</a> which I’ve been really excited about for some time now. As well as that, I have more gigs lined up, a couple of remixes and another EP for Nov / Dec time (provided there’s no delays). I’m especially looking forward to playing with Nightmares On Wax in Leeds on 28<sup>th</sup> July and also my remix dropping for Hotmood on Whiskey Pickle. There’s a little video of that remix knocking around Facebook for anyone who’s interested in a sneak peek..</em></p>
<p><strong>As a grower of fine chillies, what tips would you give anyone wanting to start making their own produce?<br />
</strong><em>Haha this brings back memories of discussing chilli growing over a curry in Birmingham before my gig at <a href="http://hareandhoundskingsheath.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hare &amp; Hounds</a>. </em></p>
<p><em>Chillies can be real easy to grow most of the time but I’ve got a couple of plants on the go at the moment that are just not enjoying themselves. I’ve tried over watering them which they didn’t seem to like. I also tried depriving them of water to teach them a lesson but they didn’t like that either. I’m unsure where to go at this stage with those two plants.</em></p>
<p><em>If you’re looking at growing some of your own though, it’s worth buying a small plant that hasn’t started flowering yet. This saves quite a bit of time waiting for it to sprout. If you want to do it from seed, get yourself a propagator so they’re in a relaxed environment. Once they sprout you can move them to a bigger pot and try and keep them outside provided the weather is half decent. Keep watering every two days or so and that’s it, job done!</em></p>
<p><em>A little tip from me &#8211; grow Scotch Bonnets. They have just the right amount of heat, a lovely flavour and have been very easy to grow in the past.</em></p>
<p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3526 size-full" src="http://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz1.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="650" srcset="https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz1.jpg 650w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz1-284x284.jpg 284w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz1-100x100.jpg 100w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz1-350x350.jpg 350w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/loz1-330x330.jpg 330w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /><br />
What was the thought process behind the mix you have provided for us and are there any exclusives in there?<br />
</strong><em>With this mix I wanted to include some of my recent record buys and obviously a couple of exclusives, one being from my upcoming EP on Outplay. I’ve put some older stuff I’ve been listening to for years in there as well which has been fun to source. Always get a buzz off digging through my records picking stuff I’ve never used in podcasts before, for me that’s the fun part to recording a podcast. Rediscovering or discovering those B sides that have either never had a play or only had 1 or two plays.. loads of fun!</em></p>

Kyoku Records</strong></a> slid onto the scene last June with <a href="https://soundcloud.com/ethyene" target="_blank"><strong>Ethyene</strong></a>&#8216;s remarkably heady <em>Obsessions</em><em> EP</em>. One year and a couple EPs later (from the likes of <a href="https://soundcloud.com/dorsiplantar" target="_blank"><strong>Dorsi Plantar</strong></a> and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/longislandsoundeire" target="_blank"><strong>Long Island Sound</strong></a>) and we arrive at their fourth release: <a href="https://soundcloud.com/emilsunesson" target="_blank"><strong>Sune</strong></a>&#8216;s <em>8 Till Late</em>. If there&#8217;s one thing the Melbourne-run house  imprint has demonstrated in their fresh run, it&#8217;s the ability to scope upcoming talent and cultivate polished EPs fitting their stylistic vein. The Kyoku sound could be described as a sample-based melange of bright, deep and sometimes whimsical moods. It&#8217;s like staring into a goddamn tropical sunset.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sune, who recently made his vinyl debut on a sweet V/A from Lagaffe Tales, is of course part of <a href="https://soundcloud.com/hihatappreciationsociety" target="_blank"><strong>High Hat Appreciation Society</strong></a> &#8211; a dope little collective of DJs and producers. On his first full EP, the Malmo man brings his approach of dusty beats and delectable sample flips in full. The B-side hosts the harder-going disco looper &#8220;Pistachio Sour&#8221; and its remix from Fouk&#8217;s ever-dope Daniel Leseman. Meanwhile, A-Side showcases the laidback and effortlessly groovy sounds of the label and producer, which brings us to our premiere.</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">[soundcloud url=&#8221;https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/premiere-sune-8-till-late&#8221;/]</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While the lead track strolls along with a delectable jazz guitar sample and a big warm bassline, the title track, &#8220;8 Till Late&#8221; explores paradisiacal territory. A crackling sample/machine layered drum beat backs the intro, with a tropical xylophone slowly filtering into the fray. When the full action is finally unleashed, a bouncy bassline joins perfectly with the riffing mallet instrumentation, a subtle rhythm guitar and sweet string stabs to create a heady summertime jam.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>8 Till Late</em> looks to be a warm weather sureshot for those of us in the northern hemisphere. The record should be hitting stores early next month and is available to preorder on <a href="http://www.juno.co.uk/products/sune-8-till-late-ep/650745-01/" target="_blank">Juno</a>.</p>

<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left">Today we’re happy to bring you our first extended interview. Our very own Bowly took the time to catch up with <a href="https://soundcloud.com/kon" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>KON</strong></a> and ask him some questions about his roots, philosophies, influences and more. Find out more about the edit maestro below.</p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><strong>INTERVIEW</strong></p>
<hr />
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>KON = King Of Nothing, how did you come up with that name?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Well KON is a name that comes from doing Graffiti, that was my tag/nickname in the mid ‘80’s (probably ‘85). I started writing graffiti in ‘83 and I was a B-Boy as well. The whole time I have been collecting and playing records.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>So you were basically a DJ from the beginning of your involvement in Hip-Hop?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">It depends on what you call a DJ. I have been playing records for other people and myself since I was 4. In that regard I always had access to records and have been going through older peoples’ collections since that young. But I didn’t actually start DJing with 2 turntables and a mixer until 1985.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>You come from a musical family… so you always had music and musicians around growing up right?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">My father was a drummer. My parents split up when I was four or five, and later on by 1979/1980 my mother re-married with a musician that used to play in a band called Face To Face, their debut LP was on Epic, Arthur Baker produced it. At the time, 1981/82 I had all kind of musicians in my household, people from Spyro Gyra, basically the who’s who of the Boston live music scene of that time. I would go to practice with them and watch. I was 9/10 years old and around these musicians in their late 30’s.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>Did this give you the urge to pick up an instrument yourself? Maybe you did?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Yeah, I started playing drums at 4 (playing a hihat). That came from my father, I played percussion… I basically banged on anything I could make a beat out of.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>From then on you got into Hip-Hop in Boston, what was the scene like back then?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">At that time, hip-hop as we know it now didn’t exist. There was no such thing as a Hip-hop section in a record store. There was nothing on TV. 1983/84 the biggest crew, the best, was the Floor Lords (they’re still around also now it’s a different generation). </span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">The early 80’s in Boston was fresh in both senses of the word (cool, new and exciting). I had family in New York as well so from going to NYC I would see the graffiti there. Both my parents could draw so the graffiti thing came pretty naturally and also, when my mother re-married not only was her new husband a musician but he was also a sign painter by trade. He taught me so much about the mathematics of letters and true essence of graffiti is nothing more than letters. Connections need to make sense, the math has to line up, it has to be correct. So all that stuff, led me to being pretty involved with graffiti, Hip-Hop and then DJing.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">I saw the movie called Wild Style, that changed things, but also Style Wars, really made quite the impact. There is a scene where Grand Master Flash is in the kitchen, cutting up breaks and that’s when it all made sense to me. That’s when I said “Oh, I got all these records! This is what you’re supposed to be doing with them! What I’m supposed to be doing!”. I asked my grandmother for a mixer for Christmas, she bought me a RadioShack mixer. I actually still got the picture of the moment when I opened the box. That forever changed my life.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3361" src="http://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/deephouse-dj-kon.jpg" alt="KON2" width="650" height="368" srcset="https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/deephouse-dj-kon.jpg 625w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/deephouse-dj-kon-350x198.jpg 350w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/deephouse-dj-kon-300x170.jpg 300w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/deephouse-dj-kon-330x187.jpg 330w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/deephouse-dj-kon-265x150.jpg 265w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>So obviously, early Hip-Hop, Disco and Funk go hand in hand but did you have a taste for Disco on its own, like mainstream Disco back then?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Well, I actually witnessed it first hand. I was in the club in 1979 as a boy. My mother would take me to a club that was called Spin Off on Saturday nights. That was a roller skating club. That was a different time. You couldn’t do that today. Here I was 7 years old and my mother had me pretty young so she was in her mid twenties by then. That was when “Off The Wall” just came out, The Crusaders’ “Street Life”, “Machine”, “Grace of God”, Taana Gardner, there were so many records that I would hear at these nights that also forever shaped my taste as far as Disco goes. So I definitely caught the Disco bug back then. </span><span lang="en-US">That time, that music, that magic, I have such a connection to that music. I feel blessed I had that opportunity.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>The 80’s was a big mixed bag of styles for DJs, were you aware of House back then as well?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">House didn’t come yet. House was the revenge for Disco, because of the early 80’s backlash. But yes you could go to a party in the mid/late 80’s and hear it. You had the Jungle Brothers with “I’ll house you”. At that time you had Hip-Hop artists doing house, Queen Latifah, Special Ed, EPMD. There would always be these uptempo house influenced things that you would hear. But also the DJs at the time would play it so you would hear Marshall Jefferson and Fast Eddy and records like this. They were part of the menu for the night.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>So when did the editing/remixing or even producing start out for you?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Well it was in ’91. I was in a rap group called Mixed Nuts, Stretch and Bobbito showed us a lot of love. We did a lot of stuff locally. But by the mid-90’s I started to do a lot of productions with another partner of mine. I always kept it off and on, it’s something I like to do.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>Had you started producing with sampling, were you already doing edits?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Oh yeah it was heavy sample-based music. Actually the first beat I ever produced is up on my Soundcloud, it’s called “Assorted Flavours”, it’s the whole song, not just the beat. </span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>You’re known for your DJing but also for your edits &amp; remixes. I read your first edit got released because somebody was trying to bootleg it.</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">It’s the Cerrone one, my biggest and most well known work to date. I sent it to Gilles Peterson and he really liked it so he was playing it on the show. It kind of took off, so a lot of people asked me for it like Jazzanova, etc. One day I was online and I saw a record store in Germany that listed my remix as a pre-order, on vinyl! I listened to the clip and it was straight from the radio show with Gilles’ voice over it. They were gonna release it like this. I couldn’t believe it, so I contacted the shop and let them know it’s me. I said “Listen, you’re not gonna carry this”. So I quickly had to move on it. At the time I had a friend who had been running a record label for a long time. I asked him if we could release that record and if we could beat the date of the other one. We pulled that in a week…</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left">[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL_gtq01rX0[/embedyt]
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>So back then you were only doing edits and remixes for your own practice as a DJ, and giving it to friends.</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Oh yeah, I had no intentions of putting that out. But it’s a good thing I did [laughs].</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>I read that you almost always have the master tapes of the original recording when you edit them, was that true back then as well?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Yeah, that one came from a master tape as well…</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>I know you won’t reveal how you got ahold of the master tapes… so I won’t ask (laughs)</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">It’s a tree in my backyard, I just pick it (laughs)</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>You seem to say there is some kind of network for these though… that make it sound very mysterious. “I need this track you need this one, let’s trade!” So you collect multi-track tapes just like you collect records?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Yeah. That’s just me, but other people collect them as well… there is a few people out there that have some nice collections of multi-tracks and I think the people that really know what’s going on with that stuff, they also know who has what and who doesn’t.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>Did your family background help you to find these in any way?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">No. I just had some things that other people didn’t have and vice versa, and we traded. That’s how it worked. More importantly, while I may have pissed some people off by putting out some of this stuff or revealing that I even have it, at the same time, from what I understand and what I’ve been told by the people that I really respect and are older than me, they respect my work, what I’m doing. It’s nice to have somebody like John Morales or somebody like Dimitri (from Paris) telling you “Good job! Keep up the good work!” playing your stuff, that’s rewarding.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3362" src="http://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/p01l9rrf.jpg" alt="KON3" width="650" height="366" srcset="https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/p01l9rrf.jpg 640w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/p01l9rrf-350x197.jpg 350w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/p01l9rrf-300x169.jpg 300w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/p01l9rrf-330x186.jpg 330w, https://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/p01l9rrf-267x150.jpg 267w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>So do you ever do rough edits from a record or stereo file?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Oh yeah, of course I do.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>I know that some people have rules, guidelines about what’s an edit or what’s a remix, they also have guidelines on how to do them. Where do you draw the line between an edit and a remix for example?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">If I just take song and just re-arrange the parts, say I get rid of a bridge, I extend the intro, maybe the break that’s an edit. I think the stuff that I do with multitrack sessions, those are remixes. To quote Danny Krivit “What you are doing are full-on remixes”. And he is arguably one of the initial guy who did edits and popularized them in the 80’s.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">The other thing that I don’t like is that people call everything and anything an edit and they do it because of this world of “Disco edits”. To me when somebody samples a record and they do a new drum track and EQ, filter it, that’s not an edit, that’s sample-based music. Because if that’s the definition of an edit then that means that Pal Joey’s “Hot Music”, Buckethead’s “The Bomb” are edits, that means almost all of house music records are edits. That’s not true. That’s just wrong to call them that and I don’t know who started that and why people call it that but to me it’s not accurate. If you listen to A Tribe Called Quest instrumental, it’s sample-based music, you’re not gonna call it an edit, right? </span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>There seems to be a trending resurgence of edit appreciation in the dance music world, you see them pop up everywhere. What do you make of this? Do you think it is a catchphrase/buzz word…?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Totally! I think it’s trendy. I mean, to each their own. If someone’s creative and they do a good job, more props to them. There’s a downside, an over-abundance of it, it’s over-saturation. It gets to the point where there are 10/15 edits of the same song. I don’t want to hear Donald Byrd’s “Love has come around” edited for the 20</span><sup><span lang="en-US">th</span></sup><span lang="en-US"> time, give it a rest, find another song! </span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Another thing though is </span><span lang="en-US">I feel that with dance music, all roads lead to disco.</span><span lang="en-US"> So for the kids that were into Justice a few years ago, or whatever house record they were into, when they want to find out about the roots of this well they discover Disco. And I guess the word “edit” helps people to discover where it’s coming from. Much like hip-hop, which is how it started for me. I’d hear a hip-hop song and I’d say “wait a second, my mother has this Grover Washington Jr. record, I grew up on that record!” You can’t be mad at discovery! So however somebody’s getting into it doesn’t matter that much.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>Are most of the edits/remixes you’re doing now commissioned by the artist/label or is it still you taking it upon yourself to work on some material you like?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">It’s both. I still do things on my own initiative because it’s a song I like. I’m just toying around with it and I make my own personal version. This past year, I’ve done a few things officially. The Loose Joints record and stuff like that. I don’t even know how I arrived at this point, over time you just keep doing what you do because you love it and then certain things happen.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left">[soundcloud url=&#8221;https://soundcloud.com/kon/loose-joints-is-it-all-over-my-face-kons-duet-mix-caserta-mixdown&#8221;/]
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>I saw you were working a lot with Caserta lately, you did a remix for his record last year and he seems to be mixing and/or mastering all your new records…</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">He’s been mixing pretty much everything I’ve done since the album. He produces and DJs as well but mixing is his thing, that’s his art. He really takes that seriously and he watches and studies everyone from like Dave Pensato, all the big names, from the pop guys all the way down. To me that’s a lost art. And I think that with the accessibility through software and plugins so many people can produce and they make these amazing records but a lot of times the mix is horrible because they do it themselves. I think some of the best records throughout time have had someone separate mixing the songs because that’s an art form in and of itself. And it takes a lot of work. I enjoy the science of sounds but I’m not gonna sit here pretending that I can make the record sound as good as he can.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>So what’s your studio looking like? What do you use? Hardware/Software? A mix of both?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">You can’t do edits with hardware. You just can’t. When I talk to John Morales about it. He told me that he doesn’t miss tape editing, because it was a lot of work. So I use Ableton for editing and producing, I still have my MPC, I got another Akai Sampler but I’m not really using them anymore, because I’d use Maschine. I also got an OP1 synth, I got a bunch of plugins. I love analog, I love synths but I’m not a synth collector.</span> <span lang="en-US"> My setup is pretty simple. It’s my laptop and soundcard, my records. Some people spend money on stuff like synths, over the years I’ve spent money on records. I got records in every room. I play original music and incorporate that, but I love sample-based music. </span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>In another interview you seemed to be pretty critical of the validity of the claim to quality of vinyl versus digital when it comes to DJing contemporary music, since most of it is composed on digital equipment. And now I guess you see even more of that “all vinyl set/all vinyl DJ”… what do you think of that?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Look, I’m not gonna give somebody extra point because they show up with a bunch of records. So what? I think this is something a lot of younger people want to overcompensate for… Vinyl is the coolest medium to store music on. Do I care extra if you show up and play records? No, because I wanna get lost in the music, I don’t wan’t to sit there and stare at what you’re doing in a booth, unless you’re a scratching DJ but other than that I have no business staring at you and what you do! I want an experience, a skilled set that is not gonna leave me train-wrecked all night and I want a selection to be on point. That’s all that matters to me.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>In my opinion there still is or can be a benefit of something produced digitally or in the box and compressed on analog equipment but not to the extent of justifying all this snobbery around all hardware, all analog, I agree…</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">How much of this new music pressed on record is true analog or even analog at all? It’s just a digital wave or whatever pressed to vinyl specs. </span><span lang="en-US">The truth to the matter here is not the vinyl. It comes down to tape. Tape is what that saturation, that warmth, comes from. If you’re not doing that anywhere in the chain of said project going to vinyl, then you’re missing the point in my opinion. And I’m not being snobby to others, I’m just like “Why do you give a shit?” Does it bang or not? All this to say, I put the music first, that’s what it’s about for me.</span></em></p>

<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>I know you play with Serato but do you bring out vinyl as well?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Yeah, I do! I always have a stack of 45’s. I don’t like to travel overseas with vinyls because if I bring records, I don’t have room to buy records to bring back. So I like to keep it minimal because every city I hit, I’m going to the record store. Just about everything that I bring out physically on vinyl, I have personally ripped digitally. </span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Also, a lot of venues are not designed to play vinyl. And you never know what you’re walking into: feedback from the turntables because they are not setup to play vinyl. But I definitely enjoy playing on 45’s, it’s just fun. They’re little, they’re challenging. It’s a different workflow. But it has nothing to do with me trying to be flashy or this vinyl warrior or this champion. </span><span lang="en-US">I’m record obsessed but it has nothing to do with trying to be cool. </span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>How do you search/discover new music these days. Are you still strictly going to record shops or online or both?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">I hate internet digging, I hate pressing play and looking at the screen for hours. So what I end up doing is going through friends. They just give me folders or what I do is check charts from DJs who’s tastes I like and narrow it down. There’s nothing like going into a record store and having the shop workers put on a record in the shop for everyone to hear and getting that reaction, having your mind blown, whether it’s an old record or a new one, it’s still new to you, and you go “What the fuck is this?” and then you go “Oh! It’s this? I need it!” That, to me, you can never duplicate with anything digital.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>Do you use Discogs?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">I use it only when I’m trying to find something that is out of print or something that I discovered when I do some research. I guess Discogs is especially good for protecting you from getting ripped off for overpriced records. If someone is trying to sell you something for 80 quid in England and then you look around, you can find it for US$30, so in this sense it is beneficial for all of us.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>Sometimes it’s the other way around though, I’m on Discogs and I go to a record shop and the guys have actually marked it down or didn’t look online (granted that’s less and less), there is one shop in Montreal like that, they make a point NOT to price according to Discogs, old school in the good sense…</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Yeah, I love this, and I feel that when you are like this with people, you establish a good relationship with them, you get some returning customers… they come back to you.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>It seems like the prices are getting crazier and crazier though, online and even in real life… and it seems like once a record has been played by this or that DJ the prices are surging overnight.</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">I’m guilty of being one of those guys I guess [laughs], making a record go for a lot of money. I know I’ve made records that I got for 40/50 bucks go for thousands of dollars. But I can’t control it.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>But is it a new phenomenon? Do you remember it being like this back in the days, say 20 years ago?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Yeah, but not to this extent, the price would drive up, you could end up paying 200/300 for a record but now I see records that go for prices that are just absurd. Some people have that kind of money to burn. I’ve had the opportunity to buy some incredible records in the past year or two, for a lot of money and these are records that commend a thousand dollars, but I think I’m over that, like “Now I have it, Oooh!” I don’t know… </span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>It almost feels like “I didn’t work hard enough”. Like “find something that is cheap and amazing, and that less people know or hype”.</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">And there’s plenty!!! There is so many dollar bin records out there that will whack the party just as much, and even probably more than the rare ones. The only people who care about the rare ones are a very small group of, for lack of a better term, nerds. And I’m one of them, I care about good music, and if it’s rare and it falls under that, well… but I guess I’ve grown up a little bit in the sense that I can’t justify spending absurd amount of money on an object.</span></em></p>

<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>There seems to be more of an appreciation these days for DJs who are diverse, go all across the board, like Hunee for example. It seems to be happening more now than say ten years ago. I guess it’s better for you… maybe you’re part of the inspiration or at least this movement in the scene…</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Well, I don’t know about that but if I was I’m proud, because I’m from an era where if you wanted to rock a party you needed your crate of classics, you needed some reggae, you needed some house, you needed some breaks, you needed R’n’B and Hip-Hop. A good DJ is gonna take you on a journey and play everything. They’re a sponge, soaking up as much as he or she can, and then giving you their experience, as opposed to “I just play house”.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>Who would you name as a personal hero or main inspiration when it comes to DJing? Who did you look up to when you were still a young DJ yourself?</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Well, if we’re talking about the DJs that influenced me. A lot of people my age would probably name these guys. Cash Money and Jazzy Jeff from Philly, and if we’re going back to the mid-80’s, Marley Marl as a DJ, Red Alert. These were the influences for me. Locally, DJ Jess Marquis was a huge influence on me and then there was M&amp;M, DJ T. Clarke (?), WILD 1090 was the radio station, those are the guys that shaped me. As I grew there was also J Rocc, who’s a friend of mine and could play any style of music. Also a DJ I have played with in Japan was DJ Nori, he played an all disco set which I had never seen him play. To this day, this is one of the best disco sets I’ve heard. I was blown away that somebody who is so removed from that culture would know what record to play with what record, not just technically, he knew how to put the set together, he killed it and that was really inspiring. There are so many unsung DJs that are so good. My friend from Miami, goes by the name of Why Not, he’s an incredible DJ.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><span lang="en-US"><b>And if we’re talking editing or remixing, who would that be for you? A great influence of yours? John Morales? Tom Moulton since he’s from Boston? Or…</b></span></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Tom has inspired me early, but I can’t say that he would be an inspiration in terms of modern approach, because Tom’s style is very different than say John’s (Morales). I would say Walter Gibbons, John Morales, also Joey Negro is really good, Dimitri has done some really good remixes, also Reflex. Those would be the guys. But in terms of influencing me, Walter had an influence, Shepp Petitbone, François K for sure, and John Morales’ name is on a lot of records I own, a whole lot. Walter didn’t do that many records in comparison but if you listen to his mixes for the time, nobody was doing what he was doing; nobody! Walter was so left-field, he would just come with a drum break and congas in tons of reverb, just so in your face with it. He was so ahead of his time. It had less to do with a traditional song structure and kind of just getting lost in a groove. I definitely try to incorporate that when I do my style.</span></em></p>
<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Larry (Levan) has done some great mixes as well, fortunately I became friends with John and friendly with François as well and they told me first hand stories of working with Larry and how a record came to be. I’m just like a little kid when I listen to these stories and ask these questions (laughs). These guys are in their 60’s you know.</span></em></p>

<p lang="fr-FR" style="text-align: justify;" align="left"><em><span lang="en-US">Yeah 2013. It’s remixes of big names hence Star Time. It’s a play on James Brown’s “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s star time!” It’s George Benson, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan. It came to a point where I didn’t really need someone else to put out my records. There is Recloose who did a cover. We did a 45. He covered Danger Zone with a live band. He made it sound almost like Dilla but with live musicians.</span></em></p>

If you look at the 90’s, a lot of DJs did this. They compiled songs that would be new or old and presented them. One of my own is on there. I also got more remixes coming out and then some more stuff on Star Time.</span></em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3235 aligncenter" src="http://boltingbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/18053091_10158541380420052_1286940451_o-1024x1024.png" alt="loss of gravity - intensity" width="650" height="650" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Italian label <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/cosmic-rhythm-records" target="_blank">Cosmic Rhythm</a></span> made their debut last year with an EP by Michele Lamacchia under his <strong><a href="https://soundcloud.com/rhytmh-of-paradise" target="_blank">Rhythm Of Paradise</a></strong> alias, a fusion of early 90’s house, disco and 80’s electronica. Since then, their releases have gone from strength to strength and for such a new label, have made a great impact. Their sound could be described as a fond throwback to a golden age of house with an avant-garde twist.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[soundcloud url=&#8221;https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/loss-of-gravity-intensity&#8221;/]
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">Their latest offering is an EP by <strong>Loss Of Gravity</strong>, a collaboration between Lamacchia and Nicola Loporchio,<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>entitled &#8220;<em>Sotterranea&#8221;</em> (roughly translated as &#8216;underground&#8217;). Today we premiere the opening track ‘<em>Intensity</em>’. This track has an air of familiarity to it as the opening chords melt into your subconscious. Layers of percussion and a pulsating bass line are added into the fray, along with some lush melancholic melodies and pads that the godfather Larry Heard would be proud of. <em>Intensity</em> would be a perfect fit for a warm-up set, a 3AM slot to break up the banger tracks, a laid back podcast or even an open top car journey along the coast.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">Plenty of producers try and recreate the magic of deep house tracks in the early 90’s but this duo have done a fine job, breaking that all too familiar cliche to create a record of true class.<em> </em>The future continues to look bright for Cosmic Rhythm if this form continues.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">Due out on 12” end of April, grab from <a href="http://www.juno.co.uk/products/loss-of-gravity-sotterranea/638428-01/?ref=purplev&amp;utm_source=affiliate&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=affiliate_dashboard_referral">Juno</a> or <a href="https://clone.nl/item44348.html">Clone</a>.</p>
